Indie Hackers Community

Work together to build profitable businesses & side projects

We're a few thousand founders and developers helping each other start profitable online businesses. The community is a friendly place to come share our experiences and projects, get valuable feedback, swap tips, and lean on each other for support.

Interesting interviews provided an excellent and entertaining way to learn from school of hard knocks

Cons:

None

There is way too much rah-rah in the startup/ entrepreneurship space. (For this reason I did not think I would like Indie Hackers, but I like the site and community. ) Indie Hackers publishes interviews and income on projects, so it can easily slide into rah-rah, but does not. Here are interviews with founders, learning from mistakes and sharing this.

Indie Hackers has been an amazing source of inspiration, content, guides, feedback, and learning from others. The community is very thoughtful, which can't be said about much. When someone posts a question or a story, no one is going to comment something stupid, vague, or sarcastic. It's all super constructive and valuable.

I was looking to start an online business, and I wasn't sure that one could do it alone. I searched on the internet and found a short Reddit post on running a business as a solo. Few people commented out, saying they have such a business. Later on, I found IndieHackers, and it was like in Avatar movie: you wade through the jungle and finally discover the whole new wonderful world. But instead of blue creatures there were solopreneurs :)

Way too much great content to read it all. Definitely binge-worthy so I have to make use periodically as bootstrappers have no time. Great contributors and I'm sure lots of happy lurkers! Courtland has done an amazing job nurturing this.
